Are you feeling the weight of the world raising your kids in these times? Parenting today is challenging, especially with the complex world your children face. Kids encounter anxiety, depression, bullying, and overwhelming exposure to information through technology at an early age. As parents, it's natural to question if you’re making the right choices.

You might unintentionally make three mistakes that could hurt your children: giving them things they haven't earned, offering praise they don't deserve, and granting freedoms they can't handle. Giving without effort can foster entitlement, while overpraising can create anxiety by setting unrealistic standards. Allowing too much freedom, like unrestricted access to technology, can expose them to harmful influences they’re not ready for.

Instead, focus on three essential gifts. First, provide them with a community worth having by surrounding them with people who share your values. Second, give them a standard worth achieving by setting high expectations that build character and integrity. Finally, nurture a faith worth sharing by encouraging a genuine relationship with God, guiding their choices, and providing a strong foundation. These gifts help prepare your children not only for today’s challenges but also for a meaningful, purpose-driven life.

Watch this message from Pastor Kayra Montañez and find out ways to give your children a solid foundation that will take them through life.

Life often brings unexpected challenges—like storms that leave us feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or alone. We all have moments when we think we are strong and secure, but then difficulties come, and we realize how fragile we can be.

There’s a story in the New Testament of the Bible where Jesus calms a raging storm, and this story illustrates the idea that peace can be found even in the middle of chaos. In this Bible story, the disciples who were caught in the storm felt helpless and afraid. But, with a simple command, Jesus brought stillness to the storm, and calm was restored. Likewise, even when everything feels out of control in our lives today, we can take heart because there is a way to find peace with God.

This story teaches us about building resilience and finding inner strength through Christ. When life feels like there’s too much to handle, it's important to remember that peace is possible. Do not despair when faced with a storm. Instead, trust that you have what it takes to get through, and find comfort in knowing that every storm will eventually pass.

This message from guest speaker Pastor Justin Kendrick at Liquid Church is based on his new book, “How To Quiet A Hurricane.” Watch and learn how to quiet the storms you encounter!

Did you know that Gen Z has unique spiritual needs? Every generation does! Our challenge as Christians is to try and meet those needs.  

Let’s look at all the challenges that Gen Z faces. For instance, they face information overload and skepticism toward institutions. They are constantly bombarded with information and are often wary of traditional systems like government, education, and even the church. 

Let’s commit to making a real difference in the lives of today’s youth by focusing on their spiritual hunger and offering them the support they need to thrive. Together, we can build a vibrant and inclusive faith community that welcomes and nurtures every generation. As a church, it’s crucial for us to rise to the occasion and provide the kind of support that truly addresses these needs.

Check out this message from Pastor Cory Daniels on how together, we can work to meet the spiritual needs of GenZ.

The film explores how her emotions adapt to her evolving life, emphasizing the importance of embracing all feelings to maintain emotional balance.

What about you? Are you overwhelmed with feelings of anxiety? God offers peace through prayer. Like Riley's emotions, our anxiety must find its place under God's control. By praying, trusting God, and focusing on His plan, we can experience peace that surpasses understanding, even in a world full of worries. Remember, true peace comes from the presence of Christ, not the absence of problems.

Willy Wonka's journey illustrates acting justly by creating fair opportunities and treating others with respect. His acts of kindness and compassion towards those less fortunate show his commitment to mercy. Throughout, Wonka remains humble despite his success, reminding us that true greatness comes from how we treat others and stay grounded.

Living well involves embracing three core principles. First, act justly by ensuring fairness in your actions and decisions, and treating everyone with dignity. Second, love mercy by demonstrating kindness and compassion, offering help and understanding to those in need. Finally, walk humbly by remaining modest and recognizing that everyone has equal worth. By incorporating these values into daily life, we contribute to a more just, caring, and balanced world.

Watch this message from Pastor Cory Daniels and find out how you can embrace fairness, kindness, and humility to make a positive impact on the world.
